After a brief break, we’re back with more fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em advice. The last time out was solid, but this week we’re aiming for a clean sweep. Week 10 offers plenty of intriguing matchups, including the NFL’s Berlin game between the Falcons and Colts. Let’s break down who you can count on and who you should avoid this weekend.
Start ’Em
Quinshon Judkins, RB, Cleveland Browns
Judkins continues to impress in a shaky Browns offense. This week he faces a Jets defense that has been struggling and will now be without both Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner. Expect Cleveland to ride the rookie early and often as they look to control the tempo on the ground.
Rome Odunze, WR, Chicago Bears
The Bears exploded for 47 points last week, yet Odunze was almost invisible with three targets and no catches. Look for a strong bounce-back performance against a Giants secondary that ranks near the bottom of nearly every defensive metric. Odunze should get back on track in a favorable matchup.
Dalton Kincaid, TE, Buffalo Bills
Kincaid caught a touchdown against the Chiefs and piled up most of his 22 fantasy points in the first quarter alone. He now faces a Dolphins defense that has struggled to contain tight ends and has been a consistent matchup target all season. Expect Kincaid to deliver another productive outing.
Sit ’Em
Ashton Jeanty, RB, Las Vegas Raiders
I have said to sit Jeanty before and he proved me wrong, but this feels like another tough spot. He faces a Broncos defensive front that leads the league with 40 sacks and thrives on pressuring quarterbacks and disrupting the run game. With one of the weakest offensive lines in football, the Raiders will struggle to open lanes for Jeanty.
D’Andre Swift, RB, Chicago Bears
Swift is dealing with a groin injury, which already makes him a risky play. Add in a matchup against a stout Giants defensive line led by Brian Burns and Abdul Carter, and it is a recipe for a quiet day. With Kyle Monangai emerging as a capable every-down back, expect Swift to see a limited workload even if he suits up.
Jordan Love, QB, Green Bay Packers
Love remains a boom-or-bust quarterback and this week’s matchup heavily leans toward the latter. The Eagles defense is relentless and opportunistic, which could spell trouble for a quarterback still learning to make quicker decisions. With tight end Tucker Kraft out, Love loses his safety valve. This is a tough matchup to trust him in.
